Hi

I don't know whether this makes sense, but would it be possible to
generate metadata and artifacts into different directories when
mirroring through the b3?

I was thinking of this possible scenario: say you have different b3aggr
files you use to mirror repositories for local builds of different and
separate things (different projects, features, products) but they all
have many features/bundles in common (e.g., rcp.sdk); if you
build/mirror the repositories with these b3aggr files you end up with
different build root directories with lots of duplicated artifacts. If
artifacts could be stored in a common bundle pool and metadata in
separate build directories most of the actual artifacts could be reused...

cheers
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

Yes, using a common bundle pool is one of the enhancements that we would
like to add. It wouldn't just benefit in minimizing the output from the
aggregator. It could also act as an input cache for aggregations where
common output is not desired. What kept us from implementing this so far
is lack of time and resources. Please add your thoughts on this topic to
this bugzilla:
